Alabama will be in the playoffs. (cant imagine them losing to Missouri)
Oregon or Arizona will be in the playoffs. (Pac-12 Champ)
TCU should make the playoffs over Baylor. (Big-12 Runner up)

Only way I think Ohio St. would have a chance is if Florida St. loses.
At this point I'm more worried about winning against Wisconsin than making the playoffs.
If we do win, I think C.Jones has to show us he can read some progressions and throw with accuracy.

November is for contenders and those Mississippi teams showed their true colors. SEC Doormats.
How was Texas A&M ever #6 in the country and now have 5 losses.
How was South Carolina ever #9 in the country and now have 6 losses.
Steve Spurrier said it best: "we must have those pollsters fooled"

SEC just received an ACC beatdown.

Arizona isn't getting in with 2 losses even if they beat Oregon. If all hell broke loose with FSU, Oregon, and Alabama losing then MAYBE. As it stands an Oregon loss just makes way for both OSU and TCU to be in.

Here's something to ponder. Will espn now start lobbying for Ohio State to get that fourth spot in the playoffs because they think we'll be an easier win for Alabama than TCU/Baylor, and ignoring the loss of JT, will also get to spin the whole Big Ten sucks line if Alabama blows us out?

Win or lose, the teams that do make the playoffs will be a big boost for recruiting. I don't think ESPiN would want to give all that air time to Ohio State.
I think TCU will be in regardless now, after they beat Iowa state. Baylor doesn't deserve to be in, with their weak schedule, and close wins.

I would be surprised to see the Pac-12 excluded.
Arizona will be top-10. If they beat #3 Oregon and win the Pac-12, I wouldn't be shocked to see them slide in at #4.

Hopefully Ohio St. has a big win, and we can jump TCU and make the playoffs regardless of the Pac-12 Champ.

IMO if a group of people that decide bowl games are in a room and the choice is between tOSU and TCU tOSU wins every time. The most important thing for tOSU is to beat the Badgers. If they can do that I think they jump TCU based on fan base and tv ratings which are the two things that a bunch of people picking bowl games care the most about.

Arizona very well could be the #1 two loss team. And potentially ahead of a one loss FSU and maybe one loss Baylor. But they'll need at least one, maybe two, other top teams to lose (other than Oregon who they would have beaten). So it's very possible, yes. But far from guaranteed.
